Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3C and Barstool Sports, and the very first edition of My Mom's Basement in 2024. Clem, we made it to 2024. It's a big year, big year for the basement on the horizon. It's me, my boy Bob Fox in the basement, the horizon it's me my boy bob fox in the basement the basement boys and gals feels good feels good to be back are you in do you still have the christmas break fog going in your brain right now a little bit yeah it feels like christmas jet lag or something

yeah perfect way to put it uh i saw someone tweeted out today they said like everyone's still like remembering how to do their jobs right now and the day of the week gone completely gone because what is it christmas and new year's were a monday and then my kids were off my kids were and my wife were off on tuesday so today was their first day back but our our first day back was Tuesday. And I know you're not like a diehard NFL guy, but Goodell is like psychosis on us. I think that's the word. He's fucking with our brains because they had games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Then they didn't have a Monday game this week. So my brain does not have any idea.

And like, again, after 2020, days of the week cease to exist we're back to fucking it might as well be march like 15th 2020 right now i am oh yeah i don't know where i am but break was good for me was break good for you how was break break was break was break we're gonna just say that break was break uh as the kids get older there's just more stuff basically i am now in the obviously the parent role, which I don't know if you did this. I remember when we would have Christmas, obviously, you'd have your holidays.

You'd go see family, friends, yada, yada, yada. We'd always see a movie during break, maybe do a little field trip, something like that. So we saw Wonka in the movie theaters. We saw Migration in the movie theaters. We went to the Liberty Science Center. The kids went ice skating twice. You're just running the clock out on Christmas break.

And in my mind, as I'm like working, I'm like, man, I can't wait till Christmas break when I'm off. And then when I'm on Christmas break, I'm like, man, I can't wait to get back to work. So I just have the house to myself. I can actually get stuff done and not be constantly at the beck and call of two little monsters. But all in all, everything was uh great christmas and everything else how about you everything was good though yeah it was good i went to cleveland and columbus i actually saw the christmas story house in real life that's kind of cool like christmasy thing it's in cleveland the movie takes place in indiana but the house itself is in cleveland right in the middle of a normal

neighborhood like they have a gift shop across the street now but but the house itself is in Cleveland, right in the middle of a normal neighborhood. They have a gift shop across the street now, and the house is also for sale. I think if you have a couple million dollars, we could buy the house. If Pornoid liked that movie, I guess Pornoid probably doesn't have a strong attachment to the Christmas story like maybe some of the other people at Barstool do. But see, I appreciate that. I did know. I knew the house was in Cleveland. I thought the movie was set in Cleveland.

I'm fine. Indiana, Cleveland, same, basically family. National Lampoons, not being in, not only not being in Chicago, but being in LA and now it's been bulldozed. That pissed me off. I don't know if we even talked about it on the podcast, but I know we were talking about it.

And again, why would you not just take that house, put it in a random part of Chicago, put it in a random part of Cleveland, put it in anywhere and just charge people, you know, whatever to do all this stuff. So we brought up some bad memories, Bob. We're not off to a good start in 2024. And listen, my, this is my pledge for 2024. I will not bring up the $50,000 again. It's over with. It's over, yeah. We didn't hit it. We didn't hit it. And I've been, I said, so it's like, I hope you hit the $50,000.

I said, no, I want to be a negative Nancy. I always can just throw out, well, I guess no one really cares about us. So that's going to be my thing. I'm done with the $50,000. That's my New Year's resolution. It gets me out of having to go to the gym and actually do important stuff with my life. I can just not complain about something I really don't have much control over at this point. Yeah, no.

Now it's 75. That's our next goal. You bastard. Don't you dare. You know 75 comes after 50, right? You know how the numbers work. Yeah, we're not celebrating 50. When we get to 50, it is what it is.

We'll celebrate when we get to 75. Jerry already passed this. Jerry's had a channel for three days, and he's at already passed god bless him though he's as we record this when you go back maybe three years from now you're listening to old my mom's basement episodes and you listen to this one just know that while we were recording it jersey jerry was live trying to hit a hole in one on a golf simulator on hour 20 and then, if you're three years in the future, you can go on YouTube right now. He's still alive.

It's a sad year. It's a bad year. Yeah, no, it's crazy, but it's captivating. Honestly, like him hitting golf shot after golf shot,

you would think it's kind of boring on hour 20. It's not like I'm on the edge of my seat trying to watch this. So yeah, shout out Jersey, Jerry, a shout out Jersey, Jerry. Like you said, people don't want to go to the bathroom because they now you're invested in you're like i don't want to miss the hole in one myself and we had as we're recording this the like closest you could actually get to a hole in one without getting one which some would say is more impressive than a hole in one just happened

so we just watched that live so shout out jerry um it's never gonna end it's just never gonna end the next day you said you saw two movies in the theater during break, Migration and Wonka. Which one was better? So my personal opinion, Wonka was better. Did a little like straw poll around the room. And I think Wonka took three out of four. AJ was a Migration fan more.

But Wonka, Wonka was a delight, man. You know me. So I love my Roald D books i love my charlotte the chocolate factory book i love the original with gene wilder not so much the johnny depp version this is for anyone out there that enjoyed the gene wilder version or even just the books it's perfect it's a prequel sets it takes part when wanka basically first arrives and i guess london and it's kind of him just getting his start and it's like it is it has musical numbers in it but i thought i was expecting like

a straight musical and i was like i don't know if i'm ready for this it was there were some songs but they were all catchy they all like advanced the story they had some fun stuff and there's a lot of nods to the original uh boy heavy spoilers did a full-blown like 15 minute uh or i don't know if it was him or someone else but they did a 15 minute like stuff i don't want to ruin it but there's a lot of there's stuff that ties into the original gene wilder and stuff like that hugh grant was the oompa loompa which was truly delightful i did not see that coming wow and uh if you like the original or you just want to get the kids out of the house because it's fucking cold outside, I sincerely recommend it. Both kids liked it.

Wife loved it. It was another hit with the family. I'm glad to hear that because I didn't think the trailers looked very good, to be honest. I thought Chalamet kind of seemed weird in that like a centric role, but I'll definitely give it a watch if you're singing its praises like this. See, I sing in its praises. Oh, dude, Iises. Oh, dude. I don't know, man. Maybe it's the candy lover in me or, again, just the guy who likes rolled-down books.

I always just found Willy Wonka so fucking cool. Just the ideas of the creation that they had. And he's that. He fucking pulls it off. You feel like he can do anything as a chocolatier, which is a weird thing to say. Our girl Olivia Colman's in it, which I didn't realize going in. Is she a good guy or a bad guy? A bad guy.

Seems like, yeah, she gets cast as bad in a lot of things. And like the Roald Dahl, you know, he has a type in terms of his bad people. There must have been like these like big, like heavier people. Big bankers corporations people yeah they have like a thick british accents and they say stuff it's always those kind of people and then she crushed it obviously everyone um everyone crushed it man the people who play slugsworth uh and the other troll and the other candy guys it was an absolute delight and i can i i don't think i'd see the theater again but i definitely

watch it as soon as like once it comes out on streaming or whatever it was uh it was a big win i'm surprised you're kind of like i i don't know if i watched the trailer but i was i thought it would be something bob fox would have on the uh on the to-do list so i'm surprised you were yeah i was interested but not like i gotta see this especially right now there are a couple movies in theaters that i wanted to see i saw two movies in theaters over break as well i saw the iron claw um shout out to the grand view theater in columbus i've shouted it out on the podcast before little mom and pop theater awesome vibe they have like a full bar we went in it was packed and not even our theater like our theater is the only show time so

that's the only thing you could have been there for, but people were just chilling in the lobby, drinking, watching football. So very cool vibe. Iron Claw, the new wrestling movie about the Von Eriks. It's an A24 movie. Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White from the bear. Amazing cast, unbelievably devastating. True story.

If you're into wrestling in the slightest,'s a must see but even if you're not into wrestling it's one of the best movies of the year without a doubt some of the best performances of the year like the fact that zach efron you can like forget that he's zach efron in a movie is really impressive to me because he's a fucking famous dude every time you see him you're like yeah it's zach efron um but i loved it i did a full like little narrated review kind of like a quote-unquote video essay style on the channel so check that out now oh appearance on the podcast appearance yeah people on the youtube got a little uh i mean with this kind of professional production i can't believe no one's 50 000 subscribers

little five-year-olds just popping in here i can tell like you just feel the energy in the house i'm like we're gonna get an aj appearance today i didn't say beforehand is it like the force yeah exactly yeah i maybe that's it it's like he i feel him the way vader feels luke um but iron claw and i also saw godzilla minus one the new japanese toho movie it was getting rave reviews for a month i wanted to see it for a long time and everyone is saying you know it's one of those you want to see in a theater it's big godzilla so i checked it out and there was like one theater within 40 minutes of me that was playing it i was like all right fuck it let's do it go to click on the show times there's one one show time all day, and it was basically sold out.

So we had to sit in the second row. We're looking up at Godzilla like the people of Japan in this movie. But it was incredible. Like, it's worth all the hype. It's a top ten movie of the year. It is the story. Most Godzilla movies, you're like, I don't care about the humans. Show me the fucking monsters.

This one, you actually care about the human story. do you know what the human story of this one is it's right before godzilla like comes out or something and like destroys the like the minus one is the year before everything goes down or something okay so the minus one hubs told me hubs the barstool's godzilla expert my favorite fucking title in the company he told me hub's the barstool godzilla expert barstool's godzilla expert my favorite fucking title in the company he told me that it takes place right after world war ii so he told me japan has been zeroed basically by world war ii and this is the godzilla taking it to minus one after that so he's taking it below the worst it could get. So it takes place right after World War II. And this isn't like, I don't think this is spoilers.

This is just kind of like what the movie is about. It's right after the bombs drop. The world is, the World War is basically over at this point. A kamikaze pilot fucking veers off and he's like, I can't do it. He gets the shakes, he gets nervous and he lands on an island because the war's over they lost so he's like what am i doing going to fucking kamikaze mission lands on an island where godzilla appears for the first time and it takes you throughout i want to say like eight years or something the movie takes place over where it's god's it's not like godzilla

comes and attacks and he's there it It's like Godzilla was spotted here. He was spotted in the ocean. There he spotted here. And because Godzilla came into this character's life, right as the war was ending, it's like the war never fucking ended for him. So he's got PTSD over Godzilla and he's worried about Godzilla coming back. And he's kind of fucking right.

Cause Godzilla is always coming back. You know, it it is incredible it's hard to find in theaters now if you can find a theater I would recommend seeing it there if you can't though the second this hits video on demand it's worth watching it's so the Godzilla scenes are so awesome it's like inspired by like Jaws Dunkirk and the Dark Knight Rises. I was thinking Jaws where he kind of, he's not on screen. You're waiting for him, right? Kevin Smith said doing that with Vader in the future would be something that would be cool. I got to do it. So I wanted to see Iron Claw.

And I asked Lard, I said, hey, he's a big wrestling fan. I said, hey, I knew you were gone. You were going to see it in Ohio. So I said, hey, Lard, you want to maybe go see it? And he's like, yeah. And then obviously then obviously what do we have five kids between us and all the different things that come during the holidays so i haven't seen it yet i'm dying to see it and then so hopefully this weekend and then on uh and then one of the days i was just like bored and i'm like man i wish i could see godzilla and there's one theater i thought it closed found

out it's still open. And the only time was at like nine o'clock. I think they're all night shows. Like it's probably the last showing of the night for like certain theaters, maybe kids movies go in during the day. And then at night they throw Godzilla in there. So I'm dying to see it. I might just have to just pull the trigger here.

And I think we're going to get snowed in this weekend. It sounds like we might be getting hit with something. So if I want to get out, I probably have to get out during the week. Bob, I think you've sold me on this. Ball scale, what are we looking at ball scale? Oh, that's a good question because I also just joined Letterboxd, like the movie social media website app. And they do the ball scale, you know, the five stars,

the Ebert scale they call it or whatever. But I call it the ball scale. If it's out of five, it's the ball scale you know the five stars the ebert scale they call it or whatever but i call it the ball scale you know if it's out of five it's the ball scale to us um i would give godzilla minus one honestly like 4.5 jesus christ you know for what it's going for being a godzilla movie it's the best godzilla movie i've ever seen i'm not a diehard i'm not hubs i'm not like i've seen every godzilla i've seen all the American ones since the 2000, the Matthew Broderick one. So I think 4.5, I think it's like as good of a Godzilla movie as you can get.

And I think we said it on the previous show is how hubs was like, Oh, this is like up there with any Godzilla movie ever in terms of quality. And I was like, if you're saying that, dude, I know that shit's fucking good. And I,

was it not made with like a ton of money and it was kind of just like a small studio project? I can't wrap my brain around this, but apparently the budget was $15 million. But Ken Jack was saying the wages and the labor laws there are so different that they basically work people to the bone and pay them nothing. And that's how they can afford to make a 15 million dollar godzilla movie it looks like a total blockbuster like god but godzilla is fucking thick in this movie too oh yeah he's thick bro these thighs on godzilla are unbelievable they don't really jiggle they're kind of stiff but they are thunder thighs quadzilla you got a little godzilla and he's kind of got like i hope godzilla stands don't get like offended by

me singers i think it's a godzilla doesn't get offended by this he's not watching right now godzilla known basement boy by the way no no but godzilla's got a fupa in the movie does he like and they keep shooting him from like the human perspective you know so you're always looking up at him and i was just looking at it i was like oh my god i don't think we should be seeing that they should be pixelating that out chris christie style for real yeah he kind of is built like chris christie carl weiser like yeah that yeah it's like he's round in in if he had pants on he would be round in the pants exactly if you think about it we did see the prequel to godzilla over the summer oppenheimer right so it starts with oppenheimer like imagine that in oppenheimer they like added

it's like we could blow up the atmosphere in both the world or we could create a giant lizard in japan if that's where we drop the bombs oh i'm excited i'm gonna go see all right if i can't see it i'm going to go see it this week it done. I want all the basement boys and gals that are looking for something to do, see that. See Iron Claw. See Wonka. I feel like Jesse Wall is standing for the movie theaters right now. If you can make it go, I'm not going to do the Jeff Bezos thing and demand people go to the movie theater. But I'd like you guys to go.

If you're not going to subscribe to the channel, at least go to the movie theaters. We, we might need to film is my idea. A new commercial for regal because AMC ain't paying us where we just do a Nicole Kidman thing, but we put you in a pinstripe suit and you just repeat all that. Nicole Kidman things, you know, heartbreak feels good in a place like this. Um,

other movies that I watched over break that I just wanted to quickly shout out movies I watched on streaming. I don't know if I shouted it out on the last podcast we did before we took a break. The holdovers, the Paul Giamatti kind of Christmasy movie. It's not necessarily a Christmas movie, but it kind of is, um, awesome. Like really, really awesome. I love Paul Giamatti. I'll watch pretty much anything with Paul Giamatti in it at this point.

I don't know how they did his lazy eye in this movie. And they refuse to say the director won't say Paul Giamatti. I'll watch pretty much anything with Paul Giamatti in it at this point. I don't know how they did his lazy eye in this movie. And they refused to say. The director won't say. Paul Giamatti won't say. It's a big secret. He's just a fuck. I guarantee he gave himself a lazy eye. I guarantee he got like the anti-rig surgery where he made it lazy.

Like I guarantee. He's like one of those crazy actors. Like the crazy method actors I feel like. He'll just do whatever for the role. He also said he wants to play a Bond villain. Which I heard and i was like fuck yeah paul giamatti is a bond villain that sounds amazing the first time i met him he was pig vomit in uh howard's turn yeah it's like one of the greatest wnbc um i watched a couple classics for the first time that i had never seen the fugitive starring harrison ford and

as a self-proclaimed harrison ford super fan it's tough but there's a couple classics that i still haven't seen he's got so many this was at the top of my list so i made it the first movie i watched in 2024 have you seen the fugitive yeah i saw it at the fucking theaters but i'll be talking to an old person and it was this movie rules rules man i think it was a tv show back in the day or was it a movie oh was it i don't know it was a movie for this was a movie rules rules man i think it was a tv show back in the day or was it a movie oh was it i don't know it was movie for this was a movie obviously yeah yeah but i think back in the day it might have been a tv show awesome movie uh i'm still trying lee jones fucking ralph cifaretto is his like you know joey if you're looking for him oh my god so good just like the most

the epitome of a 90s action movie like everything you would want in that like cat and mouse chase game two great actors in the lead role obviously and a cool mystery unfolds if you haven't seen the fugitive it's only 30 years old go check it out um it's it is a tv series 63 to 67 they did one in 2000 and 2001 as well so i i'm happy i think that was a big deal richard kimball's just a good fucking character name right yeah uh memorable yes i have a lot of lines that are just coming back to me as you say this the fact it's 30 years old really makes me want to off right now because i remember vividly seeing it can't say that on youtube yeah i can't say that on youtube

you know what let's put the show we're gonna put the show on barstool tv now now you guys got the paper yeah watch my mom another classic that i probably should have seen at some point a ron howard movie the da vinci code i never watched the da vinci code with tom hanks pretty fucking good it reminded me a lot of indiana jones so i loved that indiana jones national treasure it had that total vibe book was, I, one of the rare movies that I want, I read the book first, watched it, liked the movie, loved the book.

Uh, and again, that doesn't happen often. Money bowl was another one where I think the book is a thousand times better, but that's a good one. Bob, you're crossing some big ones off the list.

I still can't believe I'm trying. Yeah. I am shocked, Mr. Harrison. So like back it up a minute. What other Harrison Ford movies have you not seen that are like the big ones this is this is bad but i haven't seen either of his jack ryan movies

okay i haven't seen those either but i'm not harrison ford diet have you seen i haven't seen mosquito coast i know people love that one air force one yeah i've seen air force with that but that was like a pandemic watch that was kind of a late one for me as i was late too i mean but i loved air force one i thought that was awesome yeah get off my plane all time great line yeah um and i also watched the creator a newer movie came out this year last year 2023 and it was the gareth edwards movie starring john david washington denzel's son really good it wasn't like great It was on the verge of great. Um, it's going to be on FX soon.

I would assume it's just one of those kinds of movies where you're like, yeah, this is going to be on FX, TNT, TBS. It's like an AI war movie. It's very star Wars ask in visuals, not as star Wars ask and storytelling.

Eh, it kind of Mandalorianesque in that it's the thousandth story of the last 10 years to feature a hardened guy taking an interesting child through a post-apocalyptic world it's like okay that's the only thing that held it back is like i've seen this plot 10 000 times yeah i i so i was like first of all i have to watch a lot of denzel stuff i feel like his most recent stuff the last i don't know 10 years or so but his son i'm like i know his son or something he was in ballers which i'm like all right i thought i thought it was like a good movie i forgot he was in ballers he's ricky or whatever who plays for the dolphins there so it was that

the that was the the um bob fox recap of the break. It was all my watches. Yeah, that was everything I watched. And I watched a lot of Sopranos. I'm at the tail end now. We're going to have to get the wire in soon. Because I just ordered my Funko Pops. They're coming.

So we're going to have to get all the wire stuff in. I started Ozark last night. Ozark? Oh, yeah. Ozark, one or the other. I think it's just Ozark. Have you dabbled? This is maybe going to be controversial.

I watched the first episode, and I was like, eh, it's Breaking Bad, and I didn't continue. So it's funny you say that. I watched the first episode, and I said, that felt like the first episode of Breaking Bad. So that's why the Bays of Poison are the same, except I said that is in a good way. I was like, fuck this. I probably should have, because have because yeah if it's like i mean i like gretta van fleet if i like gretta van fleet because they're led zeppelin you know if this is the gretta van fleet to breaking bad's led zeppelin i would probably love it

yeah exactly bob pop on in i love jason bateman too i'm not like anti-jason bateman but yeah i probably was watching it in the wrong mood but i watched the whole first episode i remember everything about it and i remember just being like yeah breaking that thought were you cranky at the time i think i was cranky you might have been cranky i think it's cranky i gotta watch it in a better mood you're gonna have to watch it in a better mood because i'm hooked and i'm gonna need someone to talk to about it and if i did you finish narcos i didn't i'm on season three and i you you know, spoiler alert. The guy, very important guy, is no longer with us in the show.

I was like, all right, we're good. We're good with this. And I'll catch up on it later. But I needed to get the infamous spoiler alert that everyone got mad at Big Cat for for saying about a certain drug kingpin who had died like he did in real life. So I don't want to ruin it for people out there. Have you seen the Epstein meme that's going around with the guy in conan being like jeff epstein the finance kind of that you know exactly um and how about this speaking of you reading some books da vinci code money ball i'm not much of a reader i'm a watcher but i got a book for christmas i finally

got the mcu reign of marvel studios book that you were talking about, the audiobook. We talked about a couple stories from it. I've been reading the actual book. It is awesome. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys superhero movies or even movies in the slightest. Some of the facts that it lays out put into perspective how big these movies, in particular the MCU, were. It's the biggest franchise of all time. The MCU.

I think it's gross is like 31 billion. As of the books publication, the second biggest franchise is star Wars and their gross is like 12 billion. It's not even in the same realm, not number one and two. And some of the things that I, one of the things I tweeted a fun fact from the book from like the first

10, 15 pages, when they're talking about Lou Ferrigno's Hulk from 1977, they changed Bruce Banner's name to David Banner. And there was never any explanation. At least if I never heard any explanation, I was always confused about it though. Cause I had DVDs of the Lou Ferrigno Hulk grown up that I loved,

which named David Banner. Yeah. His name's David Banner. And I'm like that i loved his name's david banner yeah his name's david banner and i'm like why would his name change from bruce to david turns out in 1977 tv executives said the name bruce would just make him sound gay they were like that's too gay for television you got to change it to david mind-boggling considering batman has existed in pop culture like adam west was bruce wayne on television maybe that they were like batman's gate look i mean he was dancing a little like the dancing that was going on in that

show but just little facts like that it has uh stories about i think it the book opens with just the original six avengers going to dinner with kevin feige on the night of the avengers premiere and like stories from like an eavesdropping waiter about them talking about the future and where the MCU is going to go and stuff that is just like complete MCU superhero nerd stuff that is, is very easy to dive into. And then you get caught in the rabbit hole, flip a page after page, the basement book club. We've got a basement book club. I have the audio book. I'm going through it. I'm also, I've been listening to the audio book as I'm watching the icons on earth

series where it tells you all this stuff. So I'm like getting some of the same wires crossed. Yeah. But then I'm also getting like more in depth in the book. I'm like, they didn't even touch on this in the show practice. They have, you know,

a certain amount of time where a book can just keep going. So the book, that's the book of the month. We're going to go with here. We're going to look at the month., that's the book of the month we're going to go with here. The first book of the month, 2024. Maybe it will continue. That's going to get us to 50k. A book of the month. Yeah, really. Oh my god.

Everyone's removing physical media off shelves. We're going to do our DVD special feature of the month. Any what if thoughts, by the way? I am ashamed to say I only watched uh one and a half episodes of what if there's something about this season maybe the episode things maybe it was just the bad taste the first episode put in my mouth that didn't hook me like last season kind of did i

think if they made it a little more adult in a crazy way if they let them be they're not gonna let them be the boys but if they let them be a little raunchy or something like the first episode was what if nebula joined the nova core i was like what the who cares if she joined the nova and in the episode was it was so boring It was almost like they wanted to do Blade Runner. Blade Runner isn't like the most exciting thing as a cartoon, you know, a Harrison Ford movie I have seen. But that one's weird because I saw 2049 before I saw the original. So that was all fucking thrown off. But I don't know.

Did you, how much of it did you watch? So when you actually, when you were talking about the book before, you were like, yeah, i'm more of a watcher i'm like are we talking what if right now and that you completely threw me a curveball there fox so i got through about six and in full transparent transparency i think i watched two last night thinking we were probably going to talk about it today it was the same man i so there's one episode and oh boy bob i texted you when i saw it too yeah i should have watched this one yeah so you're gonna watch that and you're gonna go yes i'm gonna tell you right now for me personally four five and six or whatever i watched it's kind of the same thing it's and it feels like the it's like you guys could have chose something cooler like there there was like i like i don't even know if this is true but it was like back in the day it would be like what

if wolverine became thor that was like their fucking holy and i'm like oh shit you see the comic book and i'm like here's my you know 350 or whatever and you're just going home being like what the hell and i do feel like i don't know if they're trying to weave everything together i i i don't know if everything does come back together like it did in season one. I'm not done with it yet. But it's just one of those things where it was like, I felt like I was watching it just to watch it. And the fact that I didn't wake up every morning and be like, I got it. All right. You know, we're up. Kids are fed. Time to get today's what if out of the way. And this is exciting. It was like, so I do, you know, like, it's not like it's a long watch. Like,

I got to invest an hour of my time into this it's like 20 minute episodes and i can't be bothered to watch them yeah yeah and like there was there's like a lot of characters there that i i don't know much about so it's not really getting me excited um they had the uh the grandmaster was a part of it, which, like, was cool. Like, what if Tony Stark went there, right? Yeah. So, like, that premise is cool because it's what if Iron Man crashed in the Grandmaster? So when he leaves Earth, he doesn't get back in when the nuke goes off. So he has to become the gladiator, kind of?

Yes, exactly. Interesting, yeah. This is pre-Ragnarok, obviously. So, you know, obviously Hulk's not there. Hulk is fucking eating shawarma or whatever he's getting. He's fucking up all the shit with the Tesseract. But, uh,

you know, what if Peter Quill attacked earth mightiest years? I think that was the one you watched. Uh, that was, but it's like, that one just felt weird. I feel like he just like annihilate the whole planet using his thoughts.

So I, I really just didn't like it. They had the Hydra stopper and captain carter uh see that one is another one where they're obsessed with captain carter and i get it with hayley atwell just i get it she looks great in the suit the suit is amazing it's an awesome design i love the shield and everything but they don't make her interesting that's the most fucked up thing is they love the character but when they write her they write her as steve rogers but if he was a girl yeah it's like the first episode of what if they just redid the story from captain america one it's like what if this was actually captain

carter oh really nothing would change other than bucky barnes is steve because he gets dropped on the train and she's just captain Carter. They need to make her interesting if they're going to use her like they do. I just, yeah, I think they could have pulled in other characters from other parts of the universe. Yeah, use the X-Men in this. Like, you got the rights to the X-Men. It doesn't need to be canon in the friggin'

MCU universe. You don't have to cast the people you're eventually going to cast. Make it crazy. Cast the fuckin' fan castings as the x-men in fact i prefer not because like that's your biggest strength is you yeah it's not canon so you can get fucking wild with it exactly they're too focused on like the inner mcu stuff what if we redid the plot of an mcu movie you know but with different characters it's like no that's not what what ifs for hey buddy the last thing I want right now is the current state of the MCU back on my screen.

Give me some weird shit. You know, what if and I saw this and what if Kahori shaped the rope? I don't know who that is. I was like, don't know that. We're going to, you know, what if Hela found the Ten Rings? I mean, Shang-Chi was fun and Hela is a fucking awesome character. But I'm not like, oh, man, I can't like what if Hela had Magneto's powers as well? I guess she's such a fucking badass. It doesn't matter. But I don't know, man. I'm not like oh man I can't like What if Hela Had Magneto's powers as well I guess she's Such a fucking badass it doesn't matter

But there I don't know man I'm with you It just didn't do it for me I'm gonna Watch the rest of these episodes at some point That being said That being said I cannot I don't want to give it away But when you see The Happy Hogan episode

You're gonna go Oh yeah this is for It should be everything I love I have an idea In my mind of where it goes I don't want to like give it away for people that are seeing But it's it was made for me It was made for me and I enjoyed that a lot And even that like there were some things I'm like

Alright this is getting kind of like goofy now And like you said It's either gets too goofy at some points Or like the nebula stuff it's just too boring and it's like who gives a fuck shut up and i like nebula i like karen gillen is nebula it's nothing against her but who gives a fuck if she joins nova what if it is against nova fuck nova yeah i don't care about that in a cartoon. You can do anything you want. This is the premiere episode you chose?

It blew my mind. What if Nebula got the Power Stone? That's one that would have been better. What if Nebula got the Infinity Gauntlet? That's another one. You know, all the Thanos stuff. What if Nebula married John C. Reilly's character? Because I fucking like John C. Reilly.

All those would have been a better idea than joining the Nova. And hey, if you're so obsessed with redoing the plot of MCU movies, do what if Nebula was the one to kill Thanos and redo the comic story where she beheads him, but put it in end game and let us relive the end game final battle in the first episode or something like that. Make it exciting. Make it an event where it felt like they were like,

I don't know if it was their fault necessarily. Maybe Marvel told them like, Hey, play inside this very small sandbox and you got to play with these toys and you got to do this, I don't know if it was their fault necessarily. Maybe Marvel told them like, Hey, play inside this very small sandbox and you got to play with these toys and you got to do this. I don't know. But yeah. What if it just didn't, it didn't hook me.

Like it seemed like it was a must watch thing for me. I'll get to it at some point, but yeah, I'm not rushing to the full season. And I am fully prepared for people to be like, I can't believe you guys did not love that. It was a five out of five balls for me. i am fully prepared for those comments and replies as well you know what though i didn't get any tweets about it yeah i got maybe one actually i did get maybe one or two over the entire break maybe like hey what'd you think of what if and i didn't answer because i was like i didn't watch it um let's do an ad and then on the other side of it we'll talk about some news some stuff coming up on the horizon first let's tell everyone about hello fresh whether your new

Thanks HelloFresh for being with us another year. And the, the, what I really, I realized the other day I cut down on my – the NWO for life gif, the fan doing it, was one of my most often used gifs back in the day. And I don't even know the last time I tweeted. I'm going to have to do it tonight. I'm going to have to just find it.

One of my proudest moments is I recreated the gif with the NWO when I met them. You did. And Scott Hall was, God rest rest his soul so confused by it i did the for life because i knew there was a video camera as we were taking a picture so i was like this is the opportunity and he goes hey kid you know that was a picture right scott hall was confused a lot i think i was like it'll be a video afterwards like thanks razor that was a special special guest appearance on remaking the gift. I remember that was added into my report there.

That was a good one. That was awesome. Some news. We've got some superhero movie news, movie news in general, first of which Stephen Yoon drops out of the Thunderbolts. Officially, Stephen Yoon played Glenn in The Walking Dead. Famously, he was in Nope. He's the voice of Invincible and an amazing actor. thunderbolts officially stephen yoon played glenn in the walking dead famously he was in nope he's the voice of invincible and an amazing actor someone i've been rooting for since the walking

dead because glenn was my guy in the walking dead i stopped watching when he got killed off spoilers for the walking dead um i was disappointed to see he dropped out of the thunderbolts because i think he's an awesome actor i also think he's not the typical person you would expect in the mcu so i think he could have added something new to it he was supposed to play century the x-men character villain punisher villain and everything cool character he didn't look necessarily like century i don't think century's ever been like an asian guy in the comics but it could have been a cool new spin on the character he actually in the comics is like a big buff dude like that looks like henry cavill so fan castings are now saying we want henry cavill in the end oh no they're

doing that now i'm kinda i'm kinda in on it just because kevin feige bringing him out at comic-con would be like hulk hogan coming to the like wcw or something you know like someone changing promotions changing platforms. I think it'd be funny to see. So the fact he does the invincible voice, I know it does. It's not one-to-one. It makes me feel like he would have crushed the role then.

Cause he's so good at invincible, which by the way, all caught up on invincible. Thank you again to everyone for getting me into a show. And then just leaving me with blue balls is I have to wait for the other half of the season to come TBD. Don't even know. Do we know when it's coming back? Like when we finish it, And then just leaving me with blue balls as I have to wait for the other half of the season to come. TBD. Don't even know.

Do we know when it's coming back? Like when we finish it. I actually was leaving the house today and I was like, wait, we're getting or we were supposed to. Are we getting the rest of Spider-Verse this year? I think we were supposed to, but let's be real. I don't think so. Yeah, I think they were like really the animators are just we're probably being worked to the probably like the godzilla minus one people just being worked to the bone so aj just laughed at the the idea that it would even come out this

year i'm telling you it's no it's vader and luke you think if it was either between vader and luke he would kill me if he had the chance i was gonna say it's vader and luke but is it swapped and who's evil it's more like anakin and wado essentially um some other news in the mcu and this isn't news it's more of a rumor from this guy daniel rpk who's like a frequent um leaker uh scooper he says colman domingo is reportedly in the mix to replace jonathan majors as king the conqueror if you don't know colman domingo he's been in a couple things over the years lincoln 42 selma he's in the color purple right now he was also in euphoria as ruse sponsor ali, Ali. I texted you about this, Clem, because there's this one episode. It's like a special in between two seasons where it focuses on a conversation between Rue and Ali at a diner.

They're just sitting across from each other. This guy, Coleman Domingo and Zendaya, for 60 minutes, they're talking about addiction, trauma it is so captivating in a way that the like he who remains stuff at the end of loki season one was captivating and that that was just a conversation but you were like hooked and on the edge of your seat the whole time as soon as i read that i was like i never would have thought of that guy as kang but instantly i'm in like this is the kind of guy who makes you feel the weight of his words and makes dialogue feel important and heavy and that's what you need with Kang a guy who commands the screen like that yeah I feel like his powers per se aren't gonna really make the you know I think in all the villains too with

Magneto when he goes through all his you know soliloquies and Thanos right all we have all the gifts and whatever from over the years, everything he said. And Kang, I think, falls into that, too. And again, with the actors, neither of these actors I really know anything about between the guy who's going to play Sentry and this guy. But that right there, when you were saying we were talking about that conversation, I'm thinking he who remains. I would have loved to have known who was in the running back before they cast jonathan majors was he kind of point i i don't know but i really don't know that's a that's a good question because you would think you go back to those options and you're like hey

who were we looking at back then yeah maybe coleman domingo was in the mix he's been you know a prominent actor for a while he could have been the second guy up and that might be there like hey he's blown up since then it makes even more sense and he also has quotes maybe a couple years ago where i think he was doing an interview they said would you ever want to be in a superhero type movie he was like hell yeah he's like i think i'm the right age i think i'm in shape he's like i just want to play a bad guy let me be like a horrible dude i'm like uh dude kang that's the guy the only problem with this is that we already know what Kang looks like. And there could not be any different person than Kang, than the exact guy we've seen.

He has variants. Yeah. If he had variants, it's a different story. But up until then, it's he who remains, or Victor Timely, the financier. The financier? By the way, Jonathan Majors, you're fucking out of here you drop out of here you're a dick you're fucking going to jail from the basement going to jail yeah he's going to jail we're up to a year yeah and the jonathan majors legacy in my eyes won't be the

character which you know had its moments for sure. He remains namely. It will be that video where he broke up that fight. In the most staged fucking setup. And if you haven't seen it. Hey kids, you shouldn't fight or do drugs either. Check out there. Everyone be safe. This is Jonathan Majors signing off.

Wild. Just an unbelievable thing looking back. Yeah. His legacy for me will be that episode of South Park where Stan invests and he goes back to check in on the investment he's like and it's gone what do you mean it's gone all of it's gone yeah everything you put into that gone i saw i saw i saw the panda verse south park and then i just watched the other one um cred i think it's called the new special yeah the new special a plus stuff. It's like a lot of it is based around kids bringing a prime,

the drink prime to school and they all like have it. And then you have to, I have the orange one. I have the red one. And let me tell you, as a father of two kids, I have both kids asking me if they can have prime. They don't even know the idiots who push prime.

I think it's one of the Paul brothers. And, um, it's a KSI, one of those correct mama Luke's. Uh uh but they're like obsessed with it kids literally will just get an empty bottle fill it up with water and act like they're drinking it and i'm like this is crazy and south park does an a plus plus job you know parroting that and everything else so add that on to the list of uh stuff for people to watch here i'm the climb approved uh viewings

right there and a plus on fargo as well i forgot that that before i apologize fargo is is the next show on our list after we finish sopranos we're gonna finally like really get into fargo and finish it and also true detective is coming back and the new season has unbelievable reviews it's 100 on rotten tomatoes after like 21 reviews and people are raving people are saying it's like Fargo uh not Fargo people are saying True Detective's back is that season four I think it is one so have I but I it's you know like Fargo it's anthology you could just hop in at any season but this one's also called I think it's called True Detective Night Country which suggests it's a spin-, which I think is smart.

They're like, hey, we're going to slightly rebrand this one. So if it works, you're going to love it. And if it doesn't work, hey, it was a spinoff. True Detective, not that season everyone, that has nothing to do with the season everyone hated. That should be the title. Which is now, I've noticed on Twitter, people are coming around on season two, which I've never seen. I've never even given it a shot. But it's sort of making me be like,

maybe I should give it a shot. I've heard season three is very good. People say they swung back around with season three. I think so. I kind of remember that as well. People are like, oh no, this was pretty good. It just didn't hit the highs of season one. Now that the prequels are like, made their comeback on the internet, it's like

everything will come back, I've learned. the kids who grew up with true detective season two it was the first show i ever watched in hbo i loved it i thought it was great first action figure i ever owned was that serial killer um and the final like comic book news story is it doesn't really sound like margot robbie to play Harley Quinn anymore. I blogged this today. She was recently asked about, you know, Lady Gaga is going to be playing Harley Quinn and the new Joker sequel musical Elseworlds tale. But do you think you'll be playing Harley Quinn going forward? And her quote was, I always wanted Harley to be a character that would get passed on to other actresses to play the way there's so many iconic male characters that was always the dream for her which is a very nice quote alone but when it's the response to are you going to play harley

quinn again it comes off like no other people could do that for now surprising and not surprising at the same time not surprising because she's margot robbie she's played harley quinn in three movies two of which were not great birds of prey in the first suicide squad she's gotten a lot out of that character and she's about to be nominated maybe win best actress at the oscars for barbie billion dollar movie that she produced it's like she don't need harley quinn anymore surprising in the fact that like she was great in the suicide squad happy to come back for it and she's very good friends with james gunn so i kind of figured oh she might stick around but i don't think she will after that quote yeah i was gonna uh like quote tweet be like well that makes one of us because i am very happy to

see you on the big screen as harley quinn yeah she's amazing yes robbie amazing in many ways many i am and i think i'm in love with her she terrifies me she absolutely terrifies me i watched wolf of wall street after i saw that news just to get some margot robbie into my eyeballs so into your eyeballs that gets you margot robbie into everywhere that wolf of wall street yeah yeah to say the least hopefully maybe one day she'll get into the mcu as well uh let's just throw more more margot robbie there was the room there was rumors about her sue storm but i think that's vanessa kirby okay uh it's it's tough though it's it's gonna be tough whenever we do have the inevitable double dipping between the universes and it's yeah now in some of it but not in like the biggest you know roles if chris evans can do human torch and cap that's i think going to be

probably the two biggest heroes that i think you can really do that the same time with and that was with a decent amount of time and fantastic four while a hit was it's not what captain america and all the avengers became i might have a guy who played two superheroes that might beat it it's it's even earlier than fantastic four i think ben affleck might be able to beat it with daredevil and batman oh yeah that's right that's that's a big double dip between universe big double dip like a guy basically and at that time especially 2003 i think daredevil was like one of the biggest marvel characters and heroes that they had obviously since the mcu he's probably bumped down a little bit but even his show was huge charlie cox and everything and it'll be even bigger next week because that bleeds into or on the horizon um

echo is out next week they're putting all five episodes out on january 9th so it'll be a bingeable show i like that it's a tvma show so make sure your disney plus is set to tvma or else this won't appear right away so if you don't see echo right away on release day just check your settings i think you got to put the ma on and i read this the first episode features a six minute fight scene with daredevil where the director said maya lopez echo enters that scene as a teenage girl but she leaves as a cold-blooded killer and it was important for the from it was important for me that the audience is able to see that transformation happen in real time so six minutes

of fighting with daredevil in the first episode tvma tons of kingpin i think i'm in on echo just based on that now hopefully it's not a secret invasion type thing but i also think all five episodes coming out at once it's going to help us temper expectations we're not going to be building this up in our mind creating theories just going to watch it as is and listen marvel i know you've already cut them and shipped them out and ready like it doesn't have to be an hour it could be be, if you're good, if you're not going to go 20, 30 minutes, you can go like 44 and 38. Those are fine.

Cut the fat off. Give me just the meat. That's all we're asking. Which I think they did. I think it was supposed to be six episodes and they were like, we're cutting it to five. Cause we can cut the meat. Beautiful.

And I'm going to say this cause I know uncle Robbie isn't, you know, don't know if he's going to say TVMA. Don't let the kids watch it. Rob, they're fine. Just a little human trafficking, couple of murders. She left the scene as a cold-blooded murder the death is part of life though i'm just gonna say leave the kids behind on this one uncle this is a bad

reputation that i have it's incorrect it's a false narrative because my brother texted me over the the last weekend and he said i am showing my son uh the matrix for the first time and i was like what the fuck i was like that's way too adult for him he's nine years old what are you doing showing him the matrix and then i remembered i was neo from the matrix for halloween when i was six and i was watching the movies when i was five and i was like you know what i'm an idiot for even thinking that because i watched him when i was five and look how i turned out totally sane and normal right guy was reading barstool in like homeroom in sixth grade yeah the fact you've turned out to be such a normal level-headed person is one of the greatest

like mysteries of life and i'm happy it happened it's just i still cannot believe it it's incredible maybe it's a mystery because like i'm not a normal level-headed person maybe i'm like dr jekyll mr hot i go out at night and i fight crime as a person dressed as a bat have you ever seen me and batman in the same room no great point he raised some good points um also a fun announcement if you've made it to the end of the podcast you deserve this announcement we've been in contact with jose youngs and he will be back on the podcast next week we're going to with jose young's and he will be back on the podcast next week we're going to get jose on to talk to us a little bit about echo as a character in the comics which we touched on when we talked to him about hawkeye in those comics

but he'll go a little more in depth about echo maybe give his thoughts on the show i don't know if he's going to watch it or not but he's also going to give his top three comics of 2023 to check out and the top three comics of 2024 that we should all be excited for. Hopefully get a little more actual comic culture in the basement this year instead of just comic book movies. Because 2024 is a comic book movie year. Doesn't look, you know, like it's going to be a home run, let's say. Deadpool 3, we're really holding that hope for. Like Deadpool 3 is our saving grace. But then you've got like the Madam Webs to be a home run. Let's say Deadpool three, we're really holding that hope for like Deadpool three is our saving grace.

But then you've got like the Madam webs and the Craven, the hunters. And it's like, Oh, this is getting scary. It's Greg Jennings right now. Put in the team on his back, like Greg Jennings, which Deadpool is such a meta thing. He might like have a scene where he's in that CGI, Greg Jennings, like running down the field. And I, my plan is I'm trying to figure out a way, the best way to like, I think we just like have a scene where he's in that cgi greg jennings like running down the field and i my plan is i'm trying to figure out the best way to like i think we just described jose everything we

saw in secret invasion and just see if we kill him live on the podcast we got to show him the drax picture right yes yes and be like and yeah and tell them what happened where they made this super human the most powerful being in mcu, and then she was just flying around somewhere. They gave her a shot of all the powers ever. They put her in a serum, all the powers ever. That's not even, yeah. We're starting the year off on a bad note. Oh, brighter news, brighter news.

Rumors The Boys coming back June 13th. That would be amazing. That would be amazing. That would be amazing. That's a roundhouse of the dragon too, right? House of the dragon. I was going to say, that's kind of a problem though. Cause like the basement we're chilled. I mean, this was a nice episode.

We're shooting the shit, whatever. Then that becomes like, all right, so we're going to get in the morning today. And then I can get, I can record it. I obviously have to record house of the dragon live on Sundays. Even if the Mets are playing the Braves in a huge, like, basically playoff game. Hey, look.

There you go. We got the shirt on. That was one of the best designs we've ever come up with. Such a good design. Oh, fire. No. I don't even think we got sued for this one. I don't think this one got around it, which is nice.
